Newfoundland ( and Labrador ) is a province of Canada on the country's Atlantic coast. This
eastern–most Canadian province is comprised of two main regions ― the island of New-
foundland off the country’s eastern coast, and Labrador on the mainland to the northwest of
the island. The province is often referred to by the acronym « NL ». The population is
greater than 500,000, and the capital city is Saint John’s.

There are five principal Environmental–Terror–Organizations operating in Newfoundland ―

● Canadian Cancer Society ● NL Environment Network ● NL Lung Association ● New
Democratic Party ( the POLITICAL SHIELD for the Environmental–Terror–Movement) ● NL
Medical Association.

In 2009, NL Provincial Coalition on Pesticides was created as a PUBLIC POLICY SHIELD OR-
GANIZATION by the Contemptible Canadian Cancer Society, along with mostly little clubs of
Enviro–Maniacs, such as ― ● NL Association of Registered Nurses ● Canadian Association
of Physicians for the Environment ● NL Environment Network ● Food Education Action St.
John’s ● Grand Riverkeeper Labrador ● Kelligrews Ecological Enhancement Program ●
NL Lung Association ● NL Medical Association ● Mercy Centre for Ecology and Justice ●
Municipalities of NL ● Northeast Avalon Atlantic Coastal Action Program ● Saint John's
Safer Soil ● Sierra Club of Canada ― Atlantic Chapter.

B ANISHING BANS

May 21 s t , 2010

The Telegram ( Newfoundland )

The way things are going,ANYTHING YOU LIKE OR

NEED COULD BE BANNED TOMORROW , so you’d better
enjoy it while you can.

Canada has a culture of banishment.

The latest frenzy occurred when the Liquor Control

Board of Ontario [ L.C.B.O. ] banned the sale of
the Crystal Head Vodka [ promoted by celebrity
and winery o wner Dan Aykroyd ] because its BOT-
TLE IS SHAPED LIKE A SKULL , and, in the L.C.B.O.’ s
view, presents an INAPPROPRIATE symbol of death to
its customers ― unlike, say, thousands of other
brands of BOTTLED MAYHEM AND DESTRUCTION .

The L.C.B.O. seems not to realize it is in the busi-

ness of selling one of THE MOST DEADLY SUBSTANCES
ON E ARTH .
 Perhaps elected officials who favour prohibition
would prefer that most yards in their city look as if
they should surround a Detroit crack–house

But that's the thing about bans. They don’t need to follow logic.

They only need to be endorsed by people who have the po wer to i mple-
ment the m.

Green is good

Municipal politicians in Saint John’s [ in the Province of Newfoundland ]

want to ban the use of pesticides by city residents.

The favoured catch–phrase of banners is « the cosmetic use of pesticides » , as

if the desire for a fine–looking lawn is FRIVOLOUS and FACILE .

Perhaps the city councillors who favour banning pesticides would prefer that
most yards in Saint John’s look as if they should surround a Detroit CRACK-
HOUSE .

Their use of the term « cosmetic » reveals this debate is about PROPAGANDA , not
facts.

The poor old lawn has taken a beating in recent years.

First, it became a symbol of SUBURBAN INDULGENCE .

 Prohibitionists are arrogant or
authoritarian enough to demand that
other people do things their way

Now, it’s polluting Mother Earth and harming her children. For something so
green, it’s deceptively UN –G REEN .

Be brave. Go ahead and say it ― « I like my lawn » .

I like that it is SMOOTH AND SOFT .

I like that it is GOOD TO PLAY ON , or to just sit on.

I like that it RESEMBLES A MINI– PARK .

For the record, I don’t use pesticides of any kind, « cosmetic » or otherwise, on
my lawn.

I prefer the manual method of weeding. It is labour intensive, but it works bet-
ter.

You get down on your knees and cut the weeds out.

Yes, « weeds » ― sure, dandelions are a legitimate plant, and they have a
right to exist, but not on my lawn, da mmi t.

But, not being a city councillor, I am not ARROGANT or AUTHORITARIAN enough to

DEMAND other people do it my way.
 Some Enviro–Maniac Elected Officials are deluded
into believing that they know better than Health Canada

Misleading argument

Too often, environmentalists hurt their own good cause by making OUTLANDISH
CLAIMS .

Does anyone BELIEVE anything the David Suzuki Foundation says anymore ?

Apparently, that weed killer you brought home last weekend contains BOTTLED
APOCALYPSE THAT W ILL LAY WASTE TO LIFE ON E ARTH AS WE KNOW IT .

Similarly, Saint John’s city council apparently wants

citizens to believe residential pesticides are harmful
to their health and to their children's well–being.

[ Enviro–Maniac ] Councillor Sheilagh O’Leary goes

further. [ soleary@stjohns.ca ]

[ Enviro–Maniac ] O’Leary apparently believes, and

wants you to believe, that Health Canada ’s approval
of residential pesticides available in stores is ERRO-
NEOUS and UNRELIABLE , because its endorsement is
based on research it receives from the businesses
that produce them.

W hat the ... ?

Shocking. Scandalous. Unbelievable. Suzuki–esque.

Also untrue. And further proof this issue is about politics, not science.

[ Enviro–Maniac ] O’Leary is apparently UNFAMILIAR with the concept of inde-

pendent, third–party verification.

According to Health Canada , pesticide producers submit their research data to

the agency, which then checks it against other research that has been con-
ducted on the substance, to see if the company's safety claims are valid.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the W orld Health Organization
use the same method.

O’Leary does not seem to recognize the subtle but important difference.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION FROM AN INDEPENDENT PERSPECTIVE ―

O’Leary has NO competent expertise, recognized training, or background,

in matters concerning pest control products.

O’Leary is blatantly and consistently WRONG with her opinions and recom-
mendations.

O’Leary’s expertise cannot be valid since her educational background is in

Fine Arts, and her work background is in Nude Photography.

Overall, the opinions of O’Leary are TOTALLY VALUELESS and UTTERLY

WORTHLESS in matters in matters concerning pest control products.

She is NOT COMPETENT to give advice !

If you told O’Leary , « Being environmentally conscientious, I like to drink tap

water rather than bottled water » , she might reply, « So, you like to drink. »

Some Enviro–Maniac Elected Officials
are uniquely qualified to rationally
discuss pest control products
The nanny state will ruin u s all. Many of the
tree hugger s who want to b an the u se of lawn
chemicals would faint dead away if they ever
had to work on a farm and would be marching in
the street to protest that lettu ce now cost
$10.00 a head if there were no chemicals used .
I like my grass and I pay a loc al c ompany to
send lice nsed per sons to u se the corr ect chemi-
cals to keep it green. There is a per son nearby
who has a sign o n his lawn th at says no chemi-
cals used for our childre n’s safety . The place is
a mess of dandelio n, ch ickweed and brown
patches.

If you want to actually do something construc -

tive ... don’t drive the Lexus to wo rk, give up
your gym and spa memberships ( th e building
consume elec tric ity and there are ch emicals in
the water ). Stop p laying go lf ( wanna gue ss
how they keep the greens so green ), and let
the average guy enjoy his wee bit o f lawn.

Regarding pest ic ides and the ir health and envi-

ronmental effec ts, I would rely mo re on the
facts from the David Suzuki Fou ndat ion r ather
than the more propagandish stuff fr om Health
Canad a.

Health Canad a has a record of not adequately

protecting the health of C anad ians from toxic
chemicals and other subst ance s.

Look at cigarette s and tobacco for e xample ―

the best He alth Canada can do is re quire mes-
sage s on t he pac ks of smokes st ating that they
are dangerous to your health.

― Bob Diamond, Enviro–Maniac–Activist

Great art icle . I too had a good ch uckle o ver
banning the vod ka. At first, I thought it could
have bee n for sp ite against Newfoundland , but
realized , they do sell Screech in Ontario. The
comments on Suzuki and O ’Le ary are dead on. I
have no prob lem with e nvironment alists br ing-
ing legitimate concer ns forward. When they
outright lie to make the ir points ( like Al
Gore ), it ruins their credib ility and makes h av-
ing an educated d iscu ssio n, well, a waste of
time.

The David Suzu ki Found atio n is not hing more

than an Environment al Activist group, and any -
thing they say should be taken with a grain of
salt .

Please le t’s not wave the tob acco flag here.

The gover nment makes a fortune off taxes.
Let’s ban tobacco, alcohol, and moto r cars ...
then we wo n’t h ave to worry about pestic ides
on lawns. A green lawn is a small pleasure for
the aver age per son. Ban the use o f chemicals
on golf course s ... but that ’s not gonna hap -
pen becau se the peop le with more money and
influe nce o wn the gold courses.

The local supermarket sells us food with pe sti-

cides and herbic ides all over it , e ven in it , yet
these people want to talk about lawns. Not to
mention the indu stry in O ntar io and Quebec.
Every day, in the lar ger center s, ther e are hun-
dreds of thousand s of gallo ns of industr ial
waste spewed into the enviro nment by heavy
industry in and arou nd Toro nto, and Montre al.
Perhaps these could be a c ause for the afore -
mentioned ailments ???

Force Of Nature presents THE WHOLE TRUTH FROM AN INDEPENDENT PERSPECTIVE from National Or-
ganization Responding Against Huje that seek to harm the Green Space Industry (NORAHG). It is a se-
ries of e–newsletters destined for the Green Space Industry, the Environmental Terror Movement, Gov-
ernments, and the Media, nationwide across Canada, the United States, and overseas. The information
presented in Force Of Nature has been developed for the education and entertainment of the reader by
providing a sequence of historical events WITH COMMENTARY.

Huje is a term used to describe Enviro Maniac Activists that routinely concoct FEAR MONGERING,
FRAUDULENT LIES, MISCONCEPTIONS, COERCION, THREATS, DECEPTIONS, TERROR, and PARANOID
CONSPIRACIES that are DESIGNED to SCAM and DECEIVE the public into believing that families are in
some NON–EXISTENT danger with conventional pest control products. Huje also SCAM and DECEIVE
Government Officials into the NEEDLESS, SENSELESS, and MALICIOUS prohibition of FEDERALLY LEGAL,
SCIENTIFICALLY SAFE, TOTALLY IRREPLACEABLE, and ABSOLUTELY INDISPENSABLE conventional pest
control products.

All information, excerpts, and pictures contained in this document were found somewhere on the Inter-
net, and may be considered in the public domain, serving one of the following purposes ― archive,
education, promotion, publicity, or press release. The events, characters, companies, and organizations,
depicted in this document are not always fictitious. Any similarity to actual persons, living or dead, may
not be coincidental. Force Of Nature is TOTALLY INDEPENDENT of any trade association or business op-
erating within the Green Space Industry. Don’t thank us. It’s a public service. And we are glad to do it.

Force Of Nature is the brainchild of William H. Gathercole and his entourage. Mr. Gathercole is a princi-
pal FOUNDER of the Modern Professional Lawn Care Industry in BOTH Ontario and Quebec. He holds a
degree in Horticulture from the UNIVERSITY OF GUELPH, and another pure and applied science degree
from McGILL UNIVERSITY. He has worked in virtually all aspects of the Green Space Industry, including
GOLF, PROFESSIONAL LAWN CARE, and CHEMICAL INDUSTRY, and has served in public affairs, work-
place safety, and environmental compliance. Mr. Gathercole has supervised, consulted, programmed,
and/or overseen the successful and safe execution of HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of pest control appli-
cations in the urban landscape. He has trained, instructed, and consulted with THOUSANDS of turf
managers and technicians. Mr. Gathercole has also been an agricultural agronomist. For many years,
Mr. Gathercole was a contributing columnist for TURF & Recreation Magazine, Canada’s Turf and
Grounds Maintenance Authority. Mr. Gathercole is now retired from Force Of Nature, although his name
continues to appear as the founder. Mr. Gathercole is personally credited for crafting the Golf Industry
Exception Status, that endures to this day. He is also the creator of the signs that are now used for
posting after application. His vast knowledge of our long journey with Environmental Issues is UNDENI-
ABLE ― hopefully ! For FIFTEEN YEARS, the strategies designed and implemented by Mr. Gathercole
and his colleagues guaranteed the control of Environmental Terror for the entire Modern Green Space
Industry across Canada. Mr. Gathercole’s involvement in Environmental Issues reached a fevered pitch
in the 1990s, when he orchestrated, with his colleagues, legal action against the Forces of Environ-
mental Evil in the Town of Hudson, Quebec. Mr. Gathercole is the ONLY TRUE RELIABLE WITNESS of
the Hudson Affair.

Mr. Gathercole and his entourage have followed the evolution of ENVIRONMENTAL TERRORISM for over
a quarter century. Through Force Of Nature, Enviro Maniac Activist Huje are identified on the basis of
their statements, activities, affiliations, and whereabouts. Even though each Enviro Maniac Culprit is a
misguided adversary, each still deserves our respect. The use of the terms Maniac, Culprit, Terrorist, or
Basterd are not accusations of any legal wrong doing. Force Of Nature is simply holding Enviro Maniac
Activists accountable for conspiring to change public policies that TERRORIZE, HARM, and THREATEN the
Green Space Industry. Their pretentious prohibitionist rants have created LOSS OF REVENUES, BUSI-
NESS FAILURES, BANKRUPTCY, and UNEMPLOYMENT, inflicting DESPAIR and DESTITUTION for THOU-
SANDS of hapless victims throughout the Green Space Industry. The DEPRAVED INDIFFERENCE of Ma-
niac Culprit Terrorist Basterd Huje is viewed as a form of TERROR, HARM, and THREAT against the
Green Space Industry.
